Joshua 24:13

24:13 I gave you a land in ¹⁸  which you had not worked hard; you took up residence in cities you did not build and you are eating the produce of ¹⁹  vineyards and olive groves you did not plant.’

[2:9]  ¹ tn Heb “has given the land to you.” Rahab’s statement uses the Hebrew perfect, suggesting certitude.

[2:9]  ² tn Heb “terror of you has fallen upon us.”

[2:9]  ³ tn Or “melting away because of.”

[2:9]  ⁴ tn Both of these statements are actually subordinated to “I know” in the Hebrew text, which reads, “I know that the Lord…and that terror of you…and that all the inhabitants….”

[2:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “Go.”

[2:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “so that the pursuers might not meet you.”

[7:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “said.”

[10:12]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “Then Joshua spoke to the Lord in the day the Lord placed the Amorites before the sons of Israel and he said in the eyes of Israel.” It is uncertain whether the phrase “before the sons of Israel” modifies the verb “placed” (as in the present translation, “delivered the Amorites over to the Israelites”) or the verb “spoke” (“Joshua spoke to the Lord before the sons of Israel in the day the Lord delivered over the Amorites”).

[12:1]  ²¹ tn Heb “and took possession of their land.”

[12:1]  ²² tn Heb “beyond the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun.”

[15:3]  ²⁵ tn Heb “went out.”

[15:3]  ²⁶ tn Or “the Ascent of Scorpions” (עַקְרַבִּים [’aqrabbim] means “scorpions” in Hebrew).
